1969/11/04, 13. The shed pilot at Contumil was 0-4-0T CP No. 003 (Cockerill 1890), here getting some attention outside the half-roundhouse shed building. Beyond is one of the Henschel 2-8-4T's No. 0185, a rather larger machine!

Ermesinde was the end of the electrification north of Porto at this time, also the junction station for the Minho and Douro lines. Tuesday 4th November 1969.
